IT`S all about Stateside sport on Tuesday night with action from the NBA and NHL offering plenty of opportunities for punters.

In the NBA, Eastern Conference high-fliers Atlanta Hawks have suffered a mini slump of back-to-back defeats and are 2-7 at Skybet to return to winning ways when they host Western strugglers New Orleans Pelicans who have won two on the bounce and are 14-5 at Paddy Power to make it three in a row.

The night`s other games see mid-table sides Portland Trail Blazers and New York Knicks do battle, Chicago Bulls travel to Denver Nuggets and LA Lakers entrertain Oklahoma City Thunder.

Meanwhile, there`s a five-match card in the NHL so as usual let`s hear all your sporting tips and chat.

I’ll take 3/4. Disappointed in Ding as he was 4-1 despite not playing well. In the needed to come from 60 points down in a decider against a player who was only playing his 2nd match this season. Hard to find decent priced bets with so many mismatches in the opening rounds.
